Default Temp sender removal question for AU 6 cyl

I'm going to replace the temp sender in an AU 6 cylinder. There's very little room to move in there. I have been told that the easiest way is to drop the rear gearbox mount and let the rear of the box hang and this gives you access to it from underneath? Any suggestions on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi 5.8, yep little room in there but no need to drop anything imo, i got mine out np with just a combo spanner iirc.

Just dont change the sensor when the engine is hot lol, good luck!

Thanks Maka, it’s a factory lpg car too so there is a steel gas line and a couple of coolant hoses for the mixer running in around there as well. Having hands the size of dinner plates don’t help much either. I’ll have a bit of a poke around 0ver the next few days and see how I go.
